Have you seen a video on our Teochew centipede dance? Do you know how to say centipede in Teochew?
Centipede is called ghê5gang1 蜈蚣 and a centipede dance is called ghê5gang1 bhu2 蜈蚣舞
The title of the video should be written as Long5lêh8 Sing1ni5 ciu1ig4 農曆新年初一
Long5lêh8 Chinese calendar as oppose to western calendar
Sing1ni5 - means New Year
ciu1ig4 - means first day of a lunar month
Long5lêh8 Sing1ni5 ciu1ig4 means first day of Chinese New Year
Western New Year is called Zêng3hu2 guê3 ni5 政府過年｜政府过年 which means government New Year
ghê5gang1 bhu2 蜈蚣舞
